Bus catches fire in Camarines Sur

LEGAZPI CITY, Philippines — A Naga City-bound passenger bus caught fire in Del Gallego town in Camarines Sur province early Sunday, but no one among its 28 passengers was hurt as they were able to get off the vehicle before it was engulfed by flames, police said.

A report reaching Camp Gen. Simeon Ola, the Bicol regional police headquarters here, said the Penafrancia Bus was traveling along the Andaya Highway in Barangay Comadaycaday in Del Gallego at 3:30 a.m. when its fuel line leaked, igniting the fire.

The bus, driven by Joseph Carpio, came from Metro Manila.
